The ink cartridge carousel is jammed. Is there a clutch release to spin it manually? I think one of the ink cartridges is not installed properly and is hanging up on something.

If you are having trouble getting the ink to release in your Epson ET 2720 printer, there are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the ink cartridge: Make sure the ink cartridge is properly installed and seated in the printer. If the cartridge is not installed correctly, it may not release the ink.
2. Check the printer settings: Make sure the printer is set to the correct ink cartridge type and that the ink levels are being displayed correctly in the printer settings.
3. Clean the print head: If the ink is not flowing properly, it may be due to clogged nozzles or debris on the print head. To clean the print head, you can use the "Head Cleaning" function in the printer's maintenance menu or follow the instructions in the printer manual.
4. Check for air bubbles in the ink cartridge: If there are air bubbles in the ink cartridge, it can prevent the ink from flowing properly. To remove the air bubbles, you can gently tap the ink cartridge on a flat surface to try to release them.
5. Check for blockages in the ink tube: If there is a blockage in the ink tube, it can prevent the ink from flowing properly. To check for blockages, you can remove the ink cartridge and inspect the ink tube for any debris or obstructions.

If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, it is possible that the ink cartridge itself may be faulty. In this case, you may need to replace the ink cartridge with a new one.
Overall, if you are experiencing issues with your printer not releasing ink, it is important to carefully follow the troubleshooting steps outlined above to try to identify and resolve the problem.

Installing ink cartridges:
Make sure that the machine is turned on, lift the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover) with both hands, then pull the Scanning Unit Support (A) down into place.Take out a new cartridge from its casing and gently remove the orange protective tape in the direction of the arrow.Note: - Do not attempt to reattach the protective tape once you have removed it.do not touch the gold electrical contacts or the print head nozzles after removing the protective tape.Insert the ink cartridge into the ink cartridge holder.- Black: the left slot- Color: the right slot*

1. *One black cartridge and one color cartridge must be installed in the machine in order for the printer to operate. It does not matter if the capacities (Standard or High) do not match.
   
   
2. Push up on the front of the cartridge until it locks into place. (A click sound will be heard when the cartridge is locked in place.)Confirm that the ink cartridges are installed properly.OR
3. 
   
4. <1> The ink cartridge is not installed properly.
   
   <2> The ink cartridge is installed properly.
   
   
5. Fold the scanning unit support and close the scanning unit (printer cover).
   
   
6. Wait until the preparatory operation is complete; it takes about one to two minutes.

Removing Ink Cartridges:

1. After confirming that the printer is powered on, open the scanning unit (printer cover). The ink cartridge holder moves to the replacement position.
   
   
2. Press down on the semi-circular tab to release the cartridge and then remove it.
3. Remove and replace each cartridge individually. Or, remove the second cartridge after the first has been removed.
   
   
4. Fold the scanning unit support and close the scanning unit (printer cover).

turn off machine,use a large paperclip,straighten out one side,insert paper clip in to slot on right side(white guide next to blue arroe)to deactivate the carousel clutch,this will release the clutch and you should be able to rotate carousel manually.
